He should regret it. That was the most broken, unplayable mess of a multi player I've ever played in my life. Nothing worked right. I wanted my money back after I played that trash. I traded it in after a couple of weeks and the game was still unplayable. Gears 2 was the worst multi player launch of all time.

Completely agree. Myself and a friend were gears maniacs. Got home from the midnight launch and were like kids at Christmas who were given the wrong disc in the case by santa. We were devastated ha! It was a completely different game and the perfect example of a developer alienating its core fan base. That was pretty much my last hurrah with the 360. The only thing it had for me over the ps3 was gears, and epic ruined it. I traded my xbox around 3 months after.

yeah evil you know the war you helped keep going by being one of the chief attackers of sony. you do realize some of us have been around and know where to find your post history. get a different account cause its too late to try an paint yourself as a middle of the road guy.

So after all the high scores and great sales he comes out and says something like this. Geow 2's online (which was almost a perfect 10 out of 10 according to reviewers) is his biggest regret.

Something like this speaks volumes about the review system but hey let's not think about this and certainly let's not say that this game has been given a free pass for it's unplayable online. It's not like many other games (mainly PS3 exclusives) have been deducted any points from shaky online in the beginning. Warhawk says hello btw.

I was a huge fan of gears of war 1. The rest of them were a let down, getting worse each installment. I'll actually wait for reviews before playing judgement, although the industry has proven, great reviews usually don't mean great games.

Gears. 2 was ok but it really hasn't aged too well in some areas, there's some really questionable level design choices, especially when your in the rift worm absolutely ridiculous, apparently Epic thought it was a good idea to play a game with no visibility, it wasn't hard just a stupid design choice, and there were several of those moments

Gears 3 excellent , refined gameplay , great level design to especially towards the end of the game

I love gears multiplayer, gears 1,2 and 3 I enjoy playing online. However the single player is pretty repetitive and boring. You are lying to yourself if you think gears 2 got fixed, it didn't, it's still broken now. The only way they could fix the engine was to get dedicated servers as they did with 3. I was still getting games where players spawn with no guns and can't shoot a few months ago. Not only that, the host advantage was ridiculous, shots wouldn't register etc. I could write a book on existing issues in gears 2.

I still play gears 3 now and then, the dedicated servers are refreshing and far more fair. And I also enjoy destroying everyone.

omi25p that's the way it works here. PS3 fanboys pretend they played something they never have. Look at their profiles, you can see how they claimed to have traded their so called 360's or stopped paying for Live 10-20 times now. Sad thing is they keep trying.

Why are people agreeing with him? He doesn't have XBL or Gears look at his comment history. This is just giving him another excuse to troll with out actually being marked down for it.

He wouldn't know anything about Gears or anything Xbox related.

EDIT: On Topic: Other than that the MP was a mess even the constant patches didn't help it. I haven't played Gears 3 yet but I heard all major problems from 2 have been solved and Gears 3 runs very smooth.

The issues didn't affect everyone. If memory serves correctly, I didn't have issues at launch either, but many people did. It definately got better over time though with updates.

As far as paid off reviewers go, there was no online to review before the game launched. Reviewers get early copies before the game is released. Without server stress or in some cases, completed copies, it is hard to address all concerns. Go back and read the reviews and feedback and you will see the game was reviewed on it's offline content more than anything. Online was considered above and beyond then.

But the point is where as SOCOM got hammered for its faults, Gears got a free pass with 9's and 10's given out left, right and center. Either the same review standards applies to all games, or they shouldn't review it at all. Its why gaming 'journalism' is constantly mocked by gamers.

Gears 2 may have had a poor launch, but they sure as hell made up for it with Gears 3, which is still my favorite multiplayer experience of this gen, sawed-off shotgun and all! One of the smoothest multiplayer experiences ever, although it has seen better days than today.

For me GOW2 is the best Gears game the MP is one of the best MP I'v played yet . yes it was so laggy with broken search but the Epic gameplaY , modes , weapon Gave me an amazing experience in fact GOW2 is the only game I've played even after achieving the last rank and I wish I could still able to play it right now .

Gears 1 was probably the best MP. Although, technically speaking Gears 3's is. Hard to compare, as Gears 1 was more dark, gritty shotgun battles, whereas Gears 3 is anything goes. Definitely the best 3rd person shooter 'game-play' wise IMO. If someone can name it, I have probably played it already and disagree. Too bad the game-play and graphics is all Gears has had though. Imagine if they had competent stories? They would truly be amazing. Oh well.....

The voice acting wasn't bad, just the voices themselves were bad. Marcus' voice is terrible IMO, can hardly stomach it at times. Gears is known for its brutality, top notch game-play and visuals, but nothing else sadly. I could write a better story in 25 words or less lol.

Gears 2 gnasher was the worst online. It would often shoot through your enemies. Then you'd always hear that person on the headset complain. I shot you three times and nothing happened! WTF? Then the guy on the other team would say, no u suck! You'd get all frustrated. UGH!!! I hate this game!!!

yeah this game was messed up at first but even through the lag it was still better than part 3s multiplayer hands down to me and the fact that when i put it in warzone is dead along with other game types that thrived in part one and carried over to in part 2 thats a sign.. i miss those all-nighters playing guardian or annex on gears 2 i cant even string along one continuous hour of gears 3 online without saying its not worth it.
